I realize that I am gradually becoming one in the
minority these days, but I have always used and 
trusted cvs.

It doesn't get in the way and does precisely what
I need.

The only time cvs has ever been a problem is when 
I wanted to rename something and retain it's history.

But the simple answer to that is "don't do that". ;-)

People who use git seem to like it. At some point,
I need to spend some time making friends with it.

I do like the idea of setting up my own 
git server without a lot of fuss- so I need 
to try that. Setting up a cvs server is admitedly 
a pain. But it's real easy now to create projects
with cvs support on SF ;-)

We'll see. My main objection right now is taking
the time to switch over. I have at least another
6-months of Ada05 code to write before it's 0.50
release.

This is number 1. I hate doing things more than once. >8/

You don't even acknowledge cvs there. Blasphemy!
